Liza Minnelli in the sky.
I see I have arrived a little late
for the end of my life.
I have been in no hurry, and it's true
that I get distracted quite easily.
An owl hoots and I might listen
for a couple of years.
And that cloud - it looks like a flower,
No, it looks like Liza Minnelli.
The dinner last night took me
several months to prepare.
Just slow down everyone,
What’s the hurry? Let Death wait a bit.
Why miss out on all the wonder?
I want you to know that I love your ordinariness, because I, too, am ordinary. The truth is, we are all ordinary.
Haemin Sunim
May I find a way to heal that which needs healing—
In myself, in others, and in the world.
May I find the courage, wisdom, and kindness to do this.

Forever is composed of nows.
Emily Dickinson
Drink up the river.
If you find yourself hungry for the past,
eat the soil, eat the air. Drink up the river.
To be hungry for the past? That’s a losing proposition.
You’ll never scratch that itch. The past
is nothing but empty calories,
you can't feed off of that for long and live.
And if you are hungry for the future?
That’s just a different kind of junk food.
So eat the soil, eat the air. Drink up the river.
There is only now, nothing more.
Dinner time is now.
Gazing Out From The Upper Terrace, Farewell To Li
In farewell on the errace, we gaze
across boundless plains and rivers.
It is duck. Birds in flight returning,
travelers setting out -- it never ends.
Wang Wei, 701-721 CE
